General Information Operating Your Furnace

Your model MGE unit is unique is that it is entirely self-contained
in one compact cabinet. It uses outside air for gas combustion

and the products of combustion are exhausted by a power vent
directly to the outside through the upper right corner of the
exterior grille. If your unit is located at ground level or the exterior
is on a balcony, you will able to observe the flue products

discharge area. On cold mornings during the heating cycle you
may notice a vapor emitting from the discharge area. This is

normal.

Depending on your local or state building codes, you will have a
power disconnect either adjacent to your unit or located at your

main electrical panel. Over-current protection will be provided
at this point. Have your builder, dealer, or maintenance people
show you how to turn the power on and off for your Magic-Pak

unit.

A field-supplied gas cock (valve) is located in the gas line
entering the front of your unit. Manually turn the handle so it is
in a parallel position to the gas line. This is the "OPEN" position.

Lighting Instructions

1. STOP! Read the previous safety information.

2. Turn off electrical power to the appliance.

3. Turn the thermostat to lowest setting.

4. Turn the gas valve knob to "ON" position (see Figure 1).

5. Turn on electrical power to the appliance.

6. Set the room thermostat to the desired temperature. If the
thermostat "set" temperature is above room temperature

after the pre-purge time expires, main burner will light.

Gas Valve

Your unit is equipped with an energy saving, automatic,
intermittent ignition control. The burners are automatically
ignited at the beginning of each heating cycle and shut off when
each cycle is completed. Your unit does not have a pilot
requiring manual lighting.

For your safety -
Read before operating

A WARNING

Before operating, smell around the appliance area for gas. Be
sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than
air and will settle to the lowest point. Refer to "What to do if
you smell gas" on page 1 if the odor of gas is present.

Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob; never use
tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, don't try to repair it. Call
a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may
result in a fire or explosion.
